Joao Felix's arrival to Barcelona on loan made several people joke on social media, that when he was still playing at Atletico Madrid he was a reserve player, while playing at Chelsea he lacked the playing minutes given by the coach and at Barcelona he lacked salary. Joao Felix has indeed experienced difficult times in the last two seasons and hopefully at Barcelona he can prove his quality despite receiving a much lower salary. It's time for Joao Felix to prove to the Atletico Madrid coach that not giving him a place in the main squad was the wrong decision and now Barcelona will give him the opportunity to prove it.

Deciding to play with Barcelona was more about something else and I saw that he didn't want his place in the Portuguese national team to be replaced by another player because if this season he didn't get more playing minutes at the club, then the national team coach would definitely doubt him appearing for the country. Especially now that not many clubs want him, so when Barcelona decided to recruit him on loan, it was a good decision for him to join.

Currently, salary is not a problem for him, but he needs a suitable team to build his career and hone his talents so that they can develop further. after returning from Chelsea, he did not have a place to join the Atletico Madrid team squad. Now, Felix is with Barcelona. as he expected, in fact he really wanted to play for Barcelona. Ansu Fati's departure to Brighton suggests that the Portuguese player will play on the wing. So far Xavi has always played Gavi playing on the wing, with the presence of Felix, Xavi has many options with his players. So, Xavi can play the squad according to his team's wishes and needs. Xavi can apply a 4-3-3 pattern, or another system such as 4-2-3-1.

Now Xavi has a much more competitive strength, starting from the defense line, midfield and also the attack line. It is hoped that Barcelona will be able to display its best version of the game. As for Felix's performance while with Chelsea, he joined at the wrong time with Chelsea being in disarray. On his return to Atletico, he had no place. Now he is with Barcelona, we don't even know how he will play his game. But it's unfair, if we don't give him a chance and see if he can make his contribution. Well, it's interesting for us to wait.

It was a good decision for both parties. In my opinion, It was a good decision because first of all, he was looking for a team to play, for which was going to be happy while playing. And at the same time, Barcelona was looking for a player who wouldn’t have cost them so much money. So this was a good deal for them because they’re out of just going to pay him his salary and nothing more. Just the right time and the right place for Barcelona, because imagine if he was performing consistently, then Barcelona wouldn’t have been able to afford him. Barcelona wouldn’t have probably got him for a loan deal as well.
